My husband and I got married and honeymooned in Alabama, then it was during COVID that the two of us were planning on getting married, and at first we thought of doing a sizable anniversary at home, but well with the virus and all the travel restrictions, it would have been a nightmare, however then I thought about the two of them eloping overseas.
There were really few locations that would allow Americans. I also distraught we would get stuck in a foreign country for a really long time, and so the two of us ended up picking a place within the United States. I picked Alabama due to the flowers, foliage, and the availability. I also liked that the time of year we were getting married was quite nice in Alabama. It was around their winter season however wasn’t brutally cold for us. The outdoors still looked nice and I got a photographer for hardly any cash since it wasn’t peak season. We got to be photographed in a park, on the streets and with some really stunning natural backgrounds, however our photoshoot genuinely was in Tuscaloosa. I had never heard fTuscaloosa, AL before I got married! Now I have really fond memories. I have the photographs up in my household and people just love them, then everyone notices the stunning backgrounds and assumes we went somewhere excotic rather than just a few states away and in a small city. We saved a whole bunch of cash and really had a great honeymoon in Alabama. I would easily go back there again and appreciate the trip just as much.
